Edge & Node, the team that created The Graph, has launched ampersanda management platform to coordinate how autonomous AI agents operate and act, the company said Thursday.
Built on Coinbase’s x402 payment protocol and Google’s A2A communication framework, ampersend adds automation, observability, and compliance controls to what is becoming known as the “agent economy.”
As AI agents begin to handle payments, data and communications on behalf of users and organizations, the lack of standardization has made their operations difficult to monitor. Coinbase released x402, its agent payment protocol, earlier this year. It is an open source system that enables instant stablecoin payments on any website.
The addition of ampersend offers a single dashboard where companies can set usage limits, manage policies and track activity across networks.
Edge & Node developed the platform together with Coinbase, Google and the Ethereum Foundation’s decentralized AI team. The system also integrates with new Ethereum standards such as ERC-8004, designed for agent discovery and reputation tracking.
Rodrigo Coelho, Edge & Node’s CEO, said the company is preparing for a future where digital agents handle a large part of global commerce. A recent report from a16z projects that AI agents could drive $30 trillion worth of purchases by 2030. ampersend aims to bring transparency and control to that shift.
Edge & Node said it will present ampersand at Pragma Buenos Aires on November 20 after a virtual discussion on X Spaces with Coinbase, Google and Ethereum.
